    This happened to me once but it was a nice lady with a little market outside her plants store that sold fruits and veggies. She was always so nice. One day I was walking by and out of the blue she was like “hey have a banana”

        Next thing you know, you’re smoking apples on a park bench and sucking dick.

        The first hit is always free.

          I would say that drug dealers learned from sugar slavers, seriously look it up, but that gets into the argument that sugar could be considered a drug…

          Sugar, nutmeg, mace, and cotton basically are the things that “caused” the slave trade to expand as much as it did.

            This reminds me of a book I read recently. A memoir of a local fox hunter in my area who was approached by an old sugar beet farmer who asked him that the foxes kept eating his beets and that it was kinda annoying. The fox hunter just thought the old man was senile and moved on. Later on he hear other sugar beet farmers complain about foxes stealing and eating sugar beets.

            He ended up having to face the old farmer who shoved a sugar beet with fox-like bite marks in it and asked him if that wasn’t fox teeth or what? And then the final confirmation happened when they found a fox digging up sugar beets and viciously eating them on the spot before digging up a new one and carrying it off to its den.

            In the book it was used as an example of fox intelligence and their ability to adapt to changes their environment. That no matter what happens, the fox will always find a way to survive where other species don’t have the same resilience.

            Anyway, I just thought about the sugar addicted fox when I saw your comment and had to share haha.

      The guy at the 711 gave me a free banana one day when I would only go in to buy energy drinks. Really threw me off, like do I look like I need fruit? Or was he just being nice? Was he just offloading the old nanas before the new shipment came in later that day? It’s been like 5 months and I still think about it.

    A little thing I love is people’s houses. There are always so many details that talk about their history, the present occupants, the place. I can pass in front of the same building every day and still notice something new.

    I miss apples so much. But when I eat them I bloat and fart worse than a Clydesdale…
    Every now and then, when my spouse was away for the weekend I go for one of the older varieties with less Fructose, make some apple pancakes and toot away. It’s worth it!

      I have the same issue! I had to stop eating lactose, then gluten, and apples are the most recent. And I miss apples even more than I miss bread, which is saying a lot. I knew it was a fructose problem, but didn’t think about apples with lower levels of fructose in them. I might have to look into that.

        Holy shit this comment could have been written by me. Normally people have issues with lactose. Or gluten. Or FODMAPS. Nope. My stomach hates everything. Thank goodness for meat, rice, and eggs.

        FYI I recently discovered I have bile acid malabsorption. It was a long road to diagnosis, but a lot of people with IBS have BAM. In the U.S. they just prescribe the medication and see if it helps. It helps me a LOT. To the degree I can eat small amounts of FODMAPs and lactose now. Just a piece of apple, but you know what? That’s better than no apple. I’m down to 1-2 poops a day, and they look almost normal.

          Bile acid malabsorption, eh? I need to look into that. I don’t know much about malabsorption other than what I just found online, but it looks like there’s overlap between IBS and malabsorption. Definitely worth looking into.

          I’m autistic and suffer from hyper-vigilance which can absolutely cause IBS and other stomach issues, but maybe there’s more here than I realized.

            Each person is different but the medication is cheap and you can try it for a couple weeks and see if it helps.
